These Brands Want You to Join the Women's March

Saturday’s historic Women’s March on Washington has drawn massive support since its post-election inception. Celebrities have shared encouragement on social media and many are participating by marching and performing. But also among those stepping forward to support the cause: fashion labels and designers.

One creative mind in the forefront of the movement: Rachel Comey. In an open letter penned to the Council of Fashion Designers of America (aka the CFDA), the designer expressed her desire for the fashion industry to stand behind the march. “This is an opportunity for us, the fashion industry, to show that we stand in solidarity with the women who make up the majority of our customers—and the majority of our workforce,” she wrote. “Women's rights are human rights.”

Comey went on to outline her plans for herself and other willing designers, which include supporting the march on social media, organizing special sales in service of human rights organizations, chartering buses for employee participants, and subsidizing staff involvement.

Other brands have taken action in various ways. Read on to find out how and then click here for details on the upcoming march.
